UNDERSTAND ANOTHER TRICK OF SATÃN

An important trick that Shaytan tries to get you to fall into is to lose hope in the Mercy of Allah.

If Shayṭān can get you to lose hope, then he has won.

Iblīs has no hope.

He has no hope in the Mercy of Allāh or of being forgiven.

He loves to cause this type of feeling in the children of Adam as well. But remember that Allāh forgives all sins as long as you don’t die upon it. A person may try to take a few steps to Allāh, & Shayṭān will say:

“You are not worthy. How dare you! Didn’t you commit this sin?”

Shayṭān wants that you give up hope in the Mercy of Allāh.

Don’t ever say you have hit rock bottom. As long as Allāh Has given you breath to breathe & a conscious mind, then you haven’t, it is a statement of Shayṭān to say you have hit rock bottom.

You have the chance to repent and come back to Allāh.

Abu Sa‘īd al-Khudri narrates in the Musnad of Imam Aḥmad that the Prophet ﷺ said, “Iblīs said, ‘I swear by Your Honor, my Lord, that as long as Your servants have souls in their bodies, I will continue to mislead them.’

Allāh said, ‘I will continue to forgive my servants as long as they seek My forgiveness.’"

Let us not despair from the mercy of Allāh. Let us struggle to defeat the accursed Satān. May Allah assist us and make us victors.
